SOLDERlNG-LAMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Iletters Patent No. 269,415, datedIDecember 19, 1882..

Application filed October 18,1882. (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES W. HOEHN, of Bloomington, in the county of McLean and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Soldering-Lamp, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to furnish a of jewelers, dentists, and others in the work of soldering, and conveniently adapted for all varieties of such work.

The invention consists in a laterally-adjustable wick-tube, by which the flame is brought to any desired point.

Reference'is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved lamp. Fig. 2 is 'a vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail section of the wick-tube joint on the line mm, Fig. 2.

The body A of the lamp may be constructed of any suitable size, form, and material, and is provided with a collar, a, that receives the movable cap I), carrying the wick-tube B.

The cap I) is provided with fixed flanges c c, of circular form, and to the lower end of the Wick-tube B is attached a circular band, d, which passes between the flanges c of the cap; and the edges of the flangeso being bent over the edges of the band, the wick-tube is thereby held in place, and is free to be turned on a horizontal axis atone side or the other, as lllustrated by dotted lines in Fig. 1, and full lines in Fig. 3. The under side of the band is apertured to allow the wick to pass through. By this construction the tube can be turned to bring the flame in any desired position, and more or less closely to the work that is being soldered.

Upon the wick-tubeB is a loose sleeve, f, the side of which is slotted for engagement with the ping, in the mannerofa bayonet-joint, so that the sleeve can be raised and lowered and held in any position as adjusted. When raised the end of the sleeve projects above the end of the wick-tube, thereby inclosing more or less wick and regulating the flame.

h is a cap of a vsize for passing freely over the wick-tube and the movable cap I) of the lamp, which latter is formed with a flange, 2', upon which the bottom of'the cap It rests. This is to be put in place when the lamp is not in use, and, as it covers the entire tube and tits snugly at the bottom, prevents the evaporation of the liquid employed in the lamp.

This lamp is especially adapted for the use of jewelers, dentists, and others who do considerable small work requiring accurate regulation of the flame in its position with reference to the lamp.

-I am aware that it is old to support the oilvessel of the lamp so as to be laterally adjustable.

Having thus described my invention,I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent.

1. In soldering-lamps, the laterally-adjustable wick-tube B, substantially as shown and described.

2. In lamps, the combination of the cap I), provided with flanges 0 c, and the wick-tube B, formed with the band 01, combined, substantially as shown and described, to allow adjustment of the wick-tube to either side, as set forth.
